M a in i n H e p p n e r Last week family members buried me with all my beloved posses sions, hoping I would rest in peace. But I stubbornly refused to give up. With a mind set on producing stories yet to be written, I clutch ed my trusty pencil and found some air space. The reality of a major household moving party here on the ranch proved to be a traumatic experience. On paper, it seemed easy to move into a double-wide manufactured house to make room for fami ly. But what no one realized is that it took 33 years to fill a four bedroom house with a sentimental collection; some of which even the poorest Russian families wouldn’t want. We’re far from settled in while the raw ground beckons outside. It’s like being a guest in someone else’s home. After years of ac commodating the junk of three kids (even after they left home), as well as hired men, guests, the dog and on occasions a sick calf, the two of us are jockeying for space like banty roosters squaring off for territorial domination. Big sacrifices had to be made such as my very-old second hand desk that refused to go around doors. Because of an attachment for its time in service, I declined our son’s offer to saw off the legs. So, just like college days, a typewriter stand was temporarily erected using a table leaf, a small filing cabinet and an oddball end table. What really hurts is the loss of important things during a move. Setbacks like that can even cause a non-union workforce to strike, especially when what’s missing is the peanut butter. And somewhere hides a pet extension cord-the lifeline to drilling holes for hanging things on new walls; even though afterward it’s decided that’s not where something should go. Home is where the heart is, they say. And that must include a worn- out body and a deteriorating brain. Too, I’m missing old comforts like a pair of discarded worn-out shoes and a tattered chore jacket However with the many extra steps this move has created, it won’t take long to make replacements show the same signs of wear. It’s a good thing we didn’t have to move across country in one trip. Postage stamp-size kitchen towels filled in for the missing bath towels the first night. I realized afterward I could have used my hair dryer. Seems like the furniture just keeps moving and moving, with a little help. And yes, our big freezer fit in the small utility room as planned, but there wasn’t room to open the door. It and the heavy contents have made three pit stops. The second stop in our living room wasn’t exactly the planned focus of the decor I had in mind. Besides it didn’t produce a clear picture of world events like the televi sion that was supposed to sit in that spot. No one knows for sure what lurks behind the closet or cupboard doors now. It takes pure luck to find the cereal or the right utensil. And since there was nowhere to hang anything, thank heavens for hollow wall fasteners. Stick-on hooks just don't hand in there even with a little help from super glue. My largest conversation piece needs a new location with plenty of room. I am the keeper of my father’s prize trophy sail fish that hangs on a wall. Clever suggestions have been offered such as suspen ding it above the water in the Willow Creek Lake as a roadside attraction. I haven’t given much thought to any new furnishings since I possess some authentic early American pieces; for instance an old trunk that looks like it came over on the Mayflower. Then there’s my grand mother’s rocker that served four generations. And what could be more decorative than her old velvet seated sidesaddle. There’s also a few more old relics like the butter chum. Why give up serviceable items when rustic decor is back in style? Never mind that they are no longer useful. For now I’m busy trying to mastermind some new things like a bathroom fan that has a mind of its own and a self-filling, while not in use, toilet bowl tank. And I still haven’t got all the required light bulbs screwed into overhead lights since I get motion sickness from swaying around on a six foot ladder. Too, I am still leary of a jac- cuzi that boils like a witch’s cauldron. Please don’t ask me for the recipe for moving. If you’ve resided in the same house for more than 10 years. I’d advise against any rash decisions. Just let your heirs figure out what to do with your worldly goods after your demise. It hurts too much to view what they can dispose of in a second without blinking an eyelash. ^ Kenny Hanson Custom Silver line for 46 percent while the Honkers were three of 11 for 27 percent.
